Exclude categories?

Actually, it gets better. With my initial question, I was trying to build a tag that would continue to work for me without needing periodic tweaking, but I was under the impression that the category filter actually worked. It doesn’t.

[ic_add_posts orderby=’date’ order=’DSC’ category=’volunteering” template=”posts_loop_template_entire.php”]

This tag shows all active posts, whether they are in the volunteering category or not. We have a lot of event postings. I’m using the post expirator plugin to change the category of time-sensitive posts to “past-events” after their date has passed, but that doesn’t work very well if they’re still getting displayed on the home page, regardless of the category they are in. The only way I can seem to hide posts that have passed is to put them into draft status, which means that I can’t have a past-events category where people can browse past events.

Looking into the stated issue and implementing the feature request.

Fantastic! Thanks for the response ??

merryj can you confirm for me that your code does in fact look like you posted it?

[ic_add_posts orderby='date' order='DSC' category='volunteering" template="posts_loop_template_entire.php"]

Please take note of the single quote ended with a double quote in your category=.

The quotes need to be of the same species.

Jeez, I feel like an idiot. But, that’s why copy-paste is a good thing ??

Thanks!

Any thoughts on when an exclude-category option might be on its’ way? At least I can manage it manually for now, though!

No worries, I typo every day.

I’m actually working on integrating your feature request as we speak, so any day.
